Quality setting can improve or make it worse on the playback as well.

Quality Settings Explained

The results from these settings may vary slightly according to each individual’s computer.

In general this is what they mean.

Max. Sharp (Fastest) = The output is very sharp but it is possible that the picture might have some skipping effects.

Sharp (Fast) = The picture will almost be as sharp as the original.

Default (Normal) = The picture will be just as good as the original. *Recommended Setting*

Fluid (Slow) = Some movies will look better with this option with some blur.

Max Fluid (Slowest) = Some details might be lost due to heavier blur.

The best thing to do is play around with these settings until you find which one works best for you and your setup. Most of the time default is the best.
